While the logical train of thought would be that Hasbro should make more because they can sell more and maximize profits, I?ve seen Nike do this same shit for years.
The Jordan 1 debuted in 85 I believe. That line along with the Dunk, AF1 etc. hits the same nostalgic nerve that Classified does. These companies seem to thrive off of the chaos that ensues when the demand is greater than the supply. The exorbitant retail prices perhaps justifying their price increases. Curious to see how Hasbro handles this moving forward.

I understand the rarity part as well. My gripe is that if they offer a paid premium to get something, it isn't fair that those who don't pay the premium win out. In this case, I benefited, so I should just shut up, but I see the flaw in the system and I don't agree with it.

I already know it'll be just get on the waitlist or whatever. I mean I really wanted this, but I was also prepared to stop collecting the line once it goes windowless. As of now all I have opened is the retro Gung Ho and I'm happy with that. I have 5 of the Hiss Tank HasLab's preordered that I'll just flip I guess. Time to downsize. |

I completely agree. I may start a chat just to see what they say before completely throwing in the towel on Hasbro.

You know, after this I realize all I really need are my Mezco Popeyes lol
I'm not gonna lie. Speaking as someone who's been a toy collector for over 40 years, these are the best things I've ever owned. |

I am older we was brought up to buy american made and tried not to buy from c country. If a company did 5% what hasbro done they be bankrupt cause people took stands. This scared companies so cs and product quality was a big deal. If a company do what they did recently man would it hurt profits. As kids we had tmnt/tf/joes/nes.atari/ outside play so we beg for a comic or tmnt and move on. Hell we took a stand as kids back then hasbro made such bad joes it got shut down a long time. We are spoiled and addicted and tunnel vision us americans. I got Serp at 6:03 non member was almost $95. I know that is like way to much. I will leave up but i cant see me paying that much. He looks like big gut booze thor pretending to be him. I love the chariot. I dont see long term value in new world so why get? I rather spend on stuff i might need. rant over now gimmie torpedo i got a itch... |

That would be nice.
I feel like such a dick for saying on here how I bought Premium just for Serpentor and missed it. I set alarms and everything but didn't have my phone with me when I went out. I mean it's totally my fault. But it's also a wakeup call I think. I need to stop spending so much money on nerd shit and save for retirement or other necessary expenses. Yes that's sour grapes but it's also reality. I've been contemplating on which things to keep in my collections, and number one is my Mezco One:12 Popeye figures. They blow all this crap out of the water lol. |

I literally feel sick about missing this when I specifically bought Premium for it. I took measures not to miss it but still did. Happy for those who got in though. |

I?m not gonna lie, the Mezco Popeye figures are my number one most wanted toys. I just have to convince myself to drop $300 on one but I want them really bad.
